Short Version: The Eton Soulra is a nice portable iPod/iPhone radio that often found its way into my bag when leaving the house. I carried it around during summer night bike rides in Ann Arbor and took it to the hot southern sun in Myrtle Beach, SC. Even though it’s solar powered, it remains versatile and compact enough to take wherever. Read More

iPod docks are in everything these days, but this leather sectional from Natuzzi actually makes a bit of sense. Think about it. You and yours are chillaxing on the couch after a hard day working for the man. You want nothing more than some relaxing tunes from the Manilow, but the music is stuck on your iPhone and the dock is all the way on the other side of the room. But no worries, you have… Read More

Can’t you see this little iPod dock sitting next to your coffee bean grinder and spice rack? It sure looks the part with stanless steel-looking corners and a sort-of utilitarian design theme. Oh yeah, you know you wanna make room on your kitchen counter for the iP39SZC — catchy name, eh? Read More

JVC is still at the iPod speaker dock game but at least its latest offering bucks the norm and is actually different. Bonus points for that. The XS-SR3 features tubular speakers that are supposed to help simulate surround sound. The dock also holds the iDevice either vertically or horizontally, just like the B&W Zeppelin Mini I reviewed previously. But unlike that iPod speaker dock, this… Read More

Yeah, get ready for an awful lot of World Cup-related nicknacks in the coming months. We saw the official ball, adidas’ Jabulani, last week, and this week… an iPod dock. Yeah, it’s a bit of a drop off. Read More

Listen, I know you did this fancy-pants study that concluded people vacuum more efficiently when they are listening to music. And I also understand that you want to market the new quiet UltraSilencer vacuum, but for the love of pete, don’t sink to the iPod dock level. Read More

To paraphrase my favorite Jack Handy quote, “If the Vikings were around today, they would probably be amazed at the number of wireless audio solutions we have.” Hopefully said Vikings would read reviews of said wireless audio solutions here at CrunchGear, since we’ve covered a fair number of these things. Today we’re taking a look at the Eos wireless audio solution. Read More

You have to give it up to the Sony engineers and designers behind these two, new iPod docks. Both new audio systems are swanky as hell and the one pictured above with the large remote almost seems worthy of it’s $1000 USD price tag – almost.

You are a musician. You want to play along with some song or an instrument that’s stored on your iPod (I would never do that). Now JamDock is an iPod dock that let’s you connect your iPod to a mixer. Something you could do with a $3 cable. The JamDock powers your iPod when it’s in the dock. Like you don’t have another cable for that anyway. Read More

It’s mighty hard for gadget makers to produce iPod docks these days that get attention. With local pharmacies and grocery stores offering ‘em up, its hard to get noticed. I noticed this dock from RockridgeSound though. Read More

CEDIA is full of iPod docks, but the only one that interested me was the Wadia 170iTransport. It comes from the same company that has been producing uber-high quality, but pricey, digital audio converters since before the last Bush administration. I spent some time with the 170iTransport and walked away fully impressed with the audio and video capabilities. Granted, the unit isn’t… Read More

Yes, it’s another iPod dock. Is it necessary in an already over saturated marketplace? Probably not, but if you were a fan of the original Tango then the X2 just might be the perfect upgrade. The 2.1 speaker system offers ‘precision tuned high dynamic speakers’, tweets and a sub. An AM/FM radio is also included in this iteration. A blue LED display is placed behind the… Read More

Anyway, this is PC12 iPod dock with HD radio and standard clock radio functions. As you can see the read-out pops up on the dark face and it supports USB audio as well as standard audio-in. Amazing? Nah. Round? Yes. Read More

I’m not a huge listen-to-music-in-the-shower person but I’ve had bathroom speakers rigged up in various ways over the years, just in case the mood hits. This new doodad looks cool and it’s certainly an interesting take on waterproof music but it might be more trouble than it’s worth unless you plan on leaving your iPod inside the tube permanently.
It’s made by… Read More

The Roth Music Cocoon MC4 is the oddest looking iPod dock I’ve ever laid my eyes upon; it looks like it’s straight out of Frankenstein. What exactly are those tubes surrounding your iPod? Those are vacuum tubes that guarantee your music will be heard on levels you’ve never experienced before. If you enjoy listening to music with all the subtle nuances that seem to get left… Read More

I can’t quite put my finger on it, but the iWoofer looks like a cross between a gremlin and some Japanese anime. Aside from its unique looks, it packs a combination of a downward-firing subwoofer, tiny titanium drivers and an FM radio, making it a sure-fire hit in the saturated iPod-accessory world.
With an elevated setting you can watch your videos and see the pretty blue lights… Read More
